Drive numbering
If only one drive cage is installed, it must be installed in box 2. With optional drive cages installed, the
server supports up to 16 SFF hot-plug drives, up to 10 non-hot-plug LFF drives, or up to 8 LFF hot-plug
drives. The server does not support mixing SFF and LFF drives.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you populate drive bays starting with the lowest SAS or
SATA device number. Drives are numbered from left to right in each component box.
The following images show the drive numbering for each of the supported drive configurations. For drive
box numbering information, see "Front panel components (on page
)."
